CASE: PERM Labor Certification

 EMPLOYER: Hospital

 BENEFICIARY: Thai Hospitalist

 LOCATION: Tennessee

Our client is a hospitalist (physician) from Thailand, who is currently working at a hospital which was willing to petition him for a second-preference petition (I-140).  Our client has an M.D. degree and is a licensed physician in the state of Tennessee. He has maintained his status as an H-1B visa holder in the United States.  After talking to our client, our firm concluded that his potential employer can petition him as a Hospitalist. Based on our client’s educational, professional and working background, our office determined that he is clearly eligible for EB-2 classification for his I-140 petition.

Prior to filing PERM, our firm prepared the prevailing wage request, job order, advertisements, internal job posting, recruitment report, and all other steps which are important pre-PERM filing. Take note that the PERM application could be filed at least 60 days from the job posting date or 30 days from the last ad. Within a week from our retention, the prevailing wage request was filed.  After we obtained the foreign degree evaluation report, our office filed the job order on September 6, 2013.  On January 9, 2014, we promptly filed PERM.  Eventually, on June 23, 2014, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB2 position for the Thai Hospitalist beneficiary. Now our client can file the I-140 Petition and I-485 green card application simultaneously since his priority date is current.

 CASE: I-485 based on Approved I-140 (EB-2)

 APPLICANT: Filipino

 LOCATION: Erie, PA

Our client is a family physician from the Philippines, who is currently working at a hospital which was willing to petition him for a second-preference petition (I-140).  Our client has an M.D. degree and is licensed physician in the state of Pennsylvania. He has maintained his status as an H-1B visa holder in the United States.  After talking to our client, our firm concluded that his potential employer can petition him as a Family Medicine Physician. Based on our client’s educational, professional and working background, our office determined that he is clearly eligible for an EB-2 classification for his I-140 petition.

Prior to filing PERM, our firm prepared the prevailing wage request, job order, advertisements, internal job posting, recruitment report, and all other steps which are important pre-PERM filing. Take note that the PERM application could be filed at least 60 days from the job posting date or 30 days from the last ad. Within a week from our retention, the prevailing wage request was filed.  After we obtained the foreign degree evaluation report, our office filed the job order on November 16, 2011.  On May 10, 2012, we promptly filed PERM.  Eventually, on July 17, 2012, a little after two months from filing, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB2 position for the Filipino beneficiary.

We then proceeded with the I-140 Petition filing.  We submitted the “ability to pay” letter for the I-140 petition application.  We included the job offer letter, state physician license, our client’s M.D. degree, and other necessary supporting documents.

The I-140 Petition was filed on September 11, 2012 via regular processing service.  On May 3, 2013, the I-140 EB2 Petition for our Filipino client was approved.

Once the I-140 petition was approved, our client retained our office again for his I-485 adjustment of status application. Our office filed an I-485 adjustment of status application for our client on October 18, 2013. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices and fingerprint appointment came on time.

Eventually, on March 3, 2014, the USCIS Texas Service Center approved our client’s adjustment of status application. He is now a green card holder.
